class Ferriere : public Density

model of the distribution of hydrogen in the Milky Way Here in model Ferriere 2007 seperated in 2 regions (inner, outer). The border is for R=3 kpc in galactocentric radius. model is discribed in outer: ApJ, 497, 759 inner: arxiv: astro-ph/0702532

Public Functions

Vector3d CMZTransformation(const Vector3d &position) const

Coordinate transformation for the CentralMolecularZone region. Rotation arround z-axis such that X is the major axis and Y is the minor axis

Parameters:

position – position in galactic coordinates with Earth at (-8.5kpc, 0, 0)

Returns:

position in local coordinates for the CMZ region

Vector3d DiskTransformation(const Vector3d &position) const

Coordinate transformation for the galactic bulge disk region in galactic center. Rotation arround the x-axis, the y’-axis and the x’’-axis. Difened with X along the major axis, Y along the minor axis and Z along the northern normal

Parameters:

position – position in galactic coordinates with Earth at (-8.5kpc, 0, 0)

Returns:

position in local coordinates for the GB disk region

virtual double getDensity(const Vector3d &position) const

Parameters:

position – position in galactic coordinates with Earth at (-8.5kpc, 0, 0)

Returns:

density in parts/m^3, only acitvated parts are summed up

virtual double getHIDensity(const Vector3d &position) const

Parameters:

position – position in galactic coordinates with Earth at (-8.5kpc, 0, 0)

Returns:

density of atomic hydrogen in parts/m^3

virtual double getHIIDensity(const Vector3d &position) const

Parameters:

position – position in galactic coordinates with Earth at (-8.5kpc, 0, 0)

Returns:

density of ionised hydrogen in parts/m^3

virtual double getH2Density(const Vector3d &position) const

Parameters:

position – position in galactic coordinates with Earth at (-8.5kpc, 0, 0)

Returns:

density of molecular hydrogen in parts/m^3

virtual double getNucleonDensity(const Vector3d &position) const

Parameters:

position – position in galactic coordinates with Earth at (-8.5kpc, 0, 0)

Returns:

nucleon density in parts/m^3, only activated parts are summed up and H2 is weighted twice
